Task Description: This term for Inquiry we had to make a original song and make our own beat. My partner was Filipo and we enjoyed making the song.

Task Description:  Last week we were given a cool and fun mission to write an original theme song for PENN, and I knew it had to be awesome. The category I chose for PENN (Pt England News Network) was sports because I thought it would be really cool and also challenging to do. We had to do all sorts of things and the app that we had used to help us was Garageband.  All the instruments that were used were a drummer kit and lots of sound loops to make it a little bit easier to create the perfect song for sports.

First off we were learning how to use Garageband and having a little play on it to get the hang of it. We then started to actually work on the song we were creating. I went for something that was loud and also catchy at the same time, so I chose rock and roll as the genre and also a little bit of Hip/Hop. 

Next were all the instruments I chose to use for my song. I mostly used loops to help out with the instruments and the sounding but the drums also did play a big part. The way I had set the drums up to sound is really important in my piece of music. I used the clapping and the snare part of the drum to make my music sound unique and also because I didn’t want the drums to take up all the noise from the sound loops and other instruments I was using.

In conclusion, I found this task really fun and cool to do and also enjoyed working on all of the little details like changing the sound of my drums to make it sound a little softer and having lots of sound loops. Overall I found this project really cool and hope to do it again in the future. 

Task Description: Today we were look at all of the different countries from around the world to see what the music for the news is when the news pops on. It is very interesting and cool to see how many countries use a unique song for there news.

Dear Justine and the KPMG Team,

Thank you very much for hosting us for the three wonderful sessions this year. The extension enjoyed each visit, and the time spent with your team. We were really impressed by the dedication and hard work that goes into your everyday operations, especially the way you support and assist small businesses.

We were really really grateful for the food and we really enjoyed having it. We noticed and greatly valued the thoughtfulness  you gave to providing us with very fun activities during our time there. Especially the singing one where you use all of the instruments. Hopefully next year we can get to come back and enjoy some more great sessions with you guys.

Kind regards Winter

Today is our first day back to school after our 2 week holiday. This term our theme is let the music play. We are learning about music from different countries as our focus topic. The first team to go was Senior management and their item was about them singing a viral song from the movie K-pop demon hunters. Then after was team 1. Team 1 showed how they can make sounds out of anything in class. Team 2 did songs that would suit the scene about what they were doing. Team 3 made sounds and beats out of there hands and cups. Team 4 did songs that matched their emotions. Then lastly is team 5 and they did teachers vs kids. They were doing a challenge on who could guess where in the world the song was from. The winners of that challenge were the kids with the points being 1500 – 1499.

Task Description: Today I have complete and finished my reading task for this week. My book was about a man named Jimmy Valentine trying to turn his life around after he got out of prison. I have also completed my create task and response to text for the book.

This term we have been working on our Manaiaklania film festival. We have been tasked to do a recap of everything we have had to do to get this far and in order for it to work.

First we did a storyboard on paper to get a idea of what we wanted to do. Then we choose a song to go with the rest of the part. Then we came up with the idea of making a parody but then we realised it would take to long.

A scene where is was involved with was when ponyamon and maungmaung ran down the office and I was with my other friends talking. Another one was gaming into the camera with a old PS 1 controller. I hope to be involved on more scenes. Pls leave a positive comment on my blog, Bye👋
